Does the skin care product you use contain active manuka honey? If so, pat yourself on the back, you have chosen a very good product. If it does not, it is time for you to start looking for a better product. Let me tell you why.

Manuka honey is a special type of honey which is indigenous to New Zealand. It is extracted from the bee hives in certain regions of New Zealand where manuka bushes grow abundantly. The honey in these bee hives is produced from the nectar of the flowers of manuka bushes. It is well known for its amazing medicinal properties. Let us now take a detailed look at active manuka honey and its therapeutic effects and find out why it is so good for your skin.

Manuka honey has antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and anti vital properties. A large number of clinical trials have clearly shown that it is an amazing natural remedy for a wide range of health problems. It has also been found that certain tribes in New Zealand and Australia, fully aware of its health benefits, have been using it for a long time to treat various internal and external health problems.

Few other substances are as good as honey from manuka bushes when it comes to treating skin problems. It heals small cuts and abrasions, moisturizes your skin, improves your skin's elasticity, rejuvenates old skin cells, improves the production of new skin cells, and fights the free radicals which damage your skin. As a result, it prevents wrinkles, lines, cracks, and age spots and makes your skin younger and healthier than ever. The best part is that it does not cause any side effects. No matter what your skin type is, you can use manuka honey products without worrying about allergic reactions.

Now, here is an important thing you need to know about this amazing natural skin remedy. A lot of skin care products these days contain manuka honey. The problem, however, is that the honey used in these products is of low quality. The purity and effectiveness of active manuka honey is determined by something called the UMF (unique manuka factor). High quality honey from manuka usually has a UMF of 10 or more. This is an important factor which can help you differentiate between high quality skin care products and low quality products.

To get the best results, look for skin care products which contain, apart from manuka honey, powerful anti aging substances like cynergy TK, phytessence wakame, natural vitamin E, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and olive oil. All these substances are very effective and can treat and prevent a wide range of skin problems.

The most important thing you should know about manuka honey products is that they should be used regularly. Though you will see some amazing improvements in your skin within just a few months, you should not stop using them. You should continue using these products regularly to keep your skin young and healthy for a long time.
